Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Review of the Business
Windrush Garage Limited continued its success and performed well in 2025 making a profit before tax of £0.6m (2024: £0.9m). 
Reported turnover has increased from £24.5m to £25.9m despite a decrease in new vehicle units sold from 4,158 to 3,785 as a result of fewer numbers of vehicles having been sold through the Agency model and greater numbers through the traditional sales model in 2025. In addition, 7 retail vehicles were sold through the Retail Agency model before Volkswagen decided not to continue with this channel.
The Company maintained the drive to improve efficiency and reduce cost whilst enhancing the customer experience.
The Directors’ consider the Company to be well placed to face the uncertainties of the future and take advantage of further opportunities that may arise.
It is with great sadness that the Board announces the death of Tony Rosner , who co-founded the Windrush dealership back in April 1982. Although not involved in the business in recent years, Tony laid the foundations that enabled Windrush to become the flourishing company that it is today. 
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The management of the business and the nature of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The directors have set out below the principal risks facing the business:-
General economic conditions
The general economic environment and levels of consumer and business confidence have a direct impact on levels of demand in the motor retail sector. In addition, fuel prices, interest rates and levels of employment can all significantly impact sales levels. Demand levels are closely monitored by the business on an on-going basis (via sales and enquiry analysis) and action taken accordingly if these measures deviate from expectation.
Manufacturer relationship
The company relies on the strength of its relationship with its vehicle manufacturer to deliver a significant component of group profitability. Changes in the fortunes and strategy of the company's key manufacturer partner could directly impact the company's result. The directors are confident that the future new products from its manufacturer/supplier will continue to be competitively priced and high quality and therefore consider that this "manufacturer risk" is minimal. It is, in any case, mitigated by other core business areas of the business including used vehicle sales, parts sales and service work.
Used vehicle prices
Used vehicle price volatility can present a significant risk in the event that the market price moves rapidly between the point of purchase and the point of sale of a used vehicle. This leads to reduced margins and increased provisions on unsold stock. This risk is mitigated by a combination of regular monitoring of the used vehicle market by the company's used car buyers, a focus on stock turn to reduce the length of time that used vehicles are held in stock, and regular review and re-pricing to ensure that vehicles are competitively priced in the market.
People and reputation
The company has invested heavily in its people and its reputation over a number of years. The company is therefore reliant on these individuals to a degree in delivering the company's result and reinforcing the Windrush brand. The company undertakes a regular review of remuneration packages to ensure that it attracts and retains the best people.

Directors' Report
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal Activity
The principal activity of the company is the operation of a car dealership.
Future Developments
There are no future developments to report.
Dividends
The value of dividends paid amounted to £450,000 (2024: £600,000).
The directors do not recommended a final dividend.
Financial Instruments
The company uses various financial instruments, other than derivatives, which include stocking loans, cash and various items, such as consignment stock, trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the company's operations. Their existence exposes the company to a number of financial risks. The significant risks arising from the company's financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
The directors review and agree policies for the management of each of these risks which are noted below. 
Interest rate risk
The company sometimes uses bank borrowings and other loans to finance its operations during peak periods. The Bank of England base rates have decreased in 2025, mitigating this risk to some degree, and are currently standing at 3.75%. The company's interest payments on its variable rate borrowings tracked to that rate have therefore decreased.
Liquidity risk
The company seeks to manage risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash and assets safely and profitably.
The company's policy throughout the year has been to achieve this objective through the day to day involvement of management in business decisions rather than through setting maximum or minimum liquidity ratios.
Credit risk
The company's principal financial assets are cash and trade debtors. The credit risk associated with the cash is minimal as the counterparts have high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The principal credit risk therefore arises from its trade debtors.
In order to manage credit risk, the directors have implemented processes to ensure receipt of cleared funds for vehicle sales before the vehicle is released. Other trade debtors require an approved credit limit in advance. The directors set credit limits for customers based on a combination of payment history and third party credit references. Credit limits are reviewed by the finance director on a regular basis.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to: 
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved: 
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, Ascendis Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Windrush Garage Limited for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
In our opinion the financial statements:
  • give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;
  • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. 
The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
  • the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 5
Page 6
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
  • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3—4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following;
- the nature of the industry, control environment and business performance including the design of the company's remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
- of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
- any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of
non-compliance, in particular in relation to the FCA;
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: bank payment processing, payroll, sales processing, used/demo stock valuation, and credit card/cash transactions.
In common with all audits under lSAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination ofmaterial amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, pensions legislation and tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included the company's FCA regulatory requirements.
Audit response to risks identified:-
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
- reviewing correspondence with the FCA and;
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
- assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
- evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

2.4. Significant judgements and estimations
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues
and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes might differ from those
estimates.
The following judgements have been made by the directors in applying the company's accounting policies:
Property, plant and equipment
At each reporting date property, plant and equipment is assessed for any indication of impairment. If such an
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined based on value in use calculations which require
estimates to be made of future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount.
Consignment stock
Consignment stock has been included within the company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the grounds
that the company considerably bears the risks and rewards of ownership attached to these vehicles. As such, the
consignment stock is considered to be under control of the company.
Stock valuation
Stock valuation is regularly monitored against age profile and market demand. Management use a number of market
tools during the appraisal process including Glass' and CAP valuation guides. The directors perform regular reviews to
assess if any provision is required.
Brand incentives
The company receives income in the form of various incentives which are determined by the company's brand partner. The
amount receivable is generally based on achieving specific objectives such as a specified sales volume, as well as other
objectives including maintaining brand partner standards which may include, but are not limited to, retail centre image
and design requirements, customer satisfaction survey results and training standards. Objectives are generally set and
measured on either a quarterly or annual basis.

2.5. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable, net of discounts, rebates and value added taxes.
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, net of discounts, rebates and value added tax when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. In general this occurs when vehicles or parts have been supplied or when a service has been completed.
Commission income is accounted for on a receivable basis.
2.6. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Computer software has been amortised over its estimated useful life of 4 years. Computer software has been fully amortised.
2.7. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold straight line over period of lease
Plant & Machinery 15% - 25% per annum on a straight line basis
Fixtures & Fittings 20% per annum on a straight line basis
Computer Equipment 25% per annum on a straight line basis
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Revaluation of tangible fixed assets
The company took advantage of the exemption under Financial Reporting Standard 102 to treat the value of all revalued assets as deemed cost going forward on transition.
2.8. Investments
Fixed asset investments represent shares in a subsidiary undertaking and are stated at cost less impairment.
2.9. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Consignment vehicles are regarded as being under the control of the company, and in accordance with FRS 102 are included in stocks on the Statement of Financial Position, although legal title has not passed to the company. The corresponding liability is included in trade and other creditors and is secured directly on these vehicles.
2.10. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.11. Financial Instruments
The company only has basic financial instruments, which are recognised at amortised cost.

2.12. Taxation
Current tax
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Statement of Financial Position date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
2.13. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the income statement as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.14. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings on an accruals basis.
2.15. Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders.
